7 Completely REAL Yet Unknown Facts About Beer

By -


Beer is a wonderful thing; it comes in many different forms and there are at least 2,397 experts on the internet trying to feed you information about beer.

There are books, too. Tons of them. Y'know those paper things we kind of forgot about back in 2015? Well, them. They feel funny, so I'm unsure as to why you'd want one when you can get all of your completely REAL yet unknown facts about beer right here on Booze, Beats & Bites!

HERE ARE 7 COMPLETELY REAL YET UNKNOWN FACTS ABOUT BEER:

 1) Beer was invented in 1764 in Ukraine - A chap called Boris Krakovic first came up with the special recipe with beer whilst tripping on LSD. He combined a few things and it just worked.

2) Beer contains more than 4 ingredients - Other sources will lead you to believe that beer is made with Malt, Water, Hops & Yeast but they are WRONG. There are actually 7 ingredients... the other three being real money, old gameboy cartridges and broken dreams.

3) Beer is better for you than salad - It's why beer doesn't need nutritional information on the label.

4) Birthday breakfast beer is the law - Since the UN introduced this global law in the year 1947, at least 6 million people have either been fined or jailed for repeatedly skipping their birthday breakfast beer without prior permission.

5) Time of year + certain styles = changes - For example, if you drink a stout in the summer, you are more likely to grow uncontrollable public hair whilst drinking a helles in winter automatically makes you shit at monopoly.

6) Brewdog introduced beer to Scotland - Before Brewdog existed, there was actually no such thing as Scottish beer. It was originally called "Malt and Hops Drink". Now, in order to advertise your "Malt and Hops Drink" as beer in Scotland, you have to pay a monthly subscription of £99.99 to Brewdog for the rights.

7) There is a secret book about beer - Believe it or not, there is actually a secret hidden book about beer that predates the invention of beer itself. Rumours suggest that it was buried 1082ft below the North Pole and predicts many beer events including AB InBev's buyout of Camden Town Brewery.

Well, there you go, those were 7 Completely REAL Yet Unknown Facts About Beer that I definitely didn't just make up.

Beats: Album of the Month – August

If you follow me on twitter or read my ramblings on this here blog, you would’ve seen that I did a Beer of the Month post. It was a difficult decision to make. You may also notice if you follow me on twitter that I listen to A LOT of different music; I think I got something like 30 new albums in August alone which is ridiculous. You’d think with that much new music, picking an album of the month would be difficult, right? Wrong. This was a simple choice. So, which band wins the almighty honour of Booze, Beats & Bites’ first ever album of the month? The award goes to…

Lidl Currywurst - A Review

Ah, Currywurst! A Berlin institution and indeed, if you've been to Berlin and didn't eat Currywurst whilst you were there, I'm not sure we can be friends. My first Currywurst was on my first ever trip to Berlin in August 2016 where I stumbled upon a stall at the Street Theatre Festival on Alexanderplatz; I grabbed a cheap €3 plate as well as a beer and sat in the warm sun, and fell in love. Later on that trip I visited the Currywurst museum (yes, such a thing exists) and although a novelty, I feel it was possibly the wurst (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?) eleven euros I've ever spent. The premise of Currywurst, for those who don't know, is simple: It's effectively sliced boiled and fried sausage coated in a sweet curry ketchup and topped with curry powder; you'll usually find it served with chips and mayonnaise on nearly every street corner in Berlin. I'd seen the famous CurryKing brand of microwavable Currywurst in supermarkets in Germany but never did I e

Beats: God Seed – I Begin review

God Seed was created by Norwegian black metal legends Gaahl and King Ov Hell when they left Gorgoroth in 2009. Whilst they were with Gorgoroth, they played hundreds of sold out shows culminating in their absolutely fucking massive, legendary performance at Wacken 2008. I am proud to say that I was there and it was absolutely fucking mindblowing. Everything you think of black metal was true. Fire, darkness and pentagrams. Fucking yes. I’ve always been a massive black metal fan. None of my friends were ever really that into it but I’ve loved it. It’s a genre that has always rattled cages, scared people and even made headline news. It’s just so dark and disgusting. I’ve been excited about this album for a while but y’know, I really have to be in the right mood for Black Metal. Today, this is the case.
